The Indian Premier League (IPL) league fixtures will finish with a top-of-the-table clash as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Guwahati on Sunday (May 19). Irrespective of the result of the 70th match in IPL 2024 the Kolkata-based franchise will remain on the top of the table. However it is a big game for the second placed Rajasthan Royals who have lost four matches on the bounce. A win for the Royals will guarantee them a top-two finish.

In their last match Rajasthan Royals suffered a five-wicket defeat against Punjab Kings at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. After opting to bat the hosts lost Yashasvi Jaiswal in the first over. Tom Kohler-Cadmore and captain Samson tried to steady the innings but their 36-run stand was broken by Nathan Ellis who dismissed Samson for 18. Rahul then dismissed Kohler-Cadmore in the next over. Riyan Parag fought a lone battle as wickets kept tumbling from the other end.

Parag scored 48 runs off 34 deliveries. Harshal Patel Chahar and Curran picked up two wickets each while Ellis and Arshdeep Singh picked up one wicket apiece to restrict RR to 144 for nine in their 20 overs. In response Trent Boult removed Prabhsimran Singh in the very first over. Rilee Rossouw (22 off 13) played a cameo but Avesh Khan ended his stay in the middle. The lanky fast bowler then got the in-form Shashank Singh for a two-ball duck in the same over to push the visitors on the backfoot. Punjab Kings were in trouble at one stage reeling at 48 for four.

Sam Curran led from the front and played a captain’s knock (63* off 41). He found good support from Jitesh Sharma (22 off 20) and Ashutosh Singh (17* off 11) as they completed a comfortable five-wicket win with seven balls to spare. Kolkata Knight Riders on the other hand had to share points with Gujarat Titans (GT) their last game was abandoned due to rain in Ahmedabad. The washout ended GT’s chances of getting playoffs while it assured KKR a top of the table finish.

KKR would be looking to test their bench strength ahead of the all-important Qualifier 1 while Rajasthan Royals would be keen to put an end to their losing streak as they head to the next round. Four defeats in a row. That's where Rajasthan Royals who have qualified into the Playoffs stand at the moment. A win over Kolkata will still seal a top-two spot for them if they aren't there already by match start courtesy other results but it must not really be a comfortable place to be in.

Team News Rajasthan Royals: Jos Buttler has flown back home for the upcoming bilateral series against Pakistan. RR would be hoping that Shimron Hetmyer who has missed the last three matches due to an injury returns as their middle order is struggling to perform consistently. Dhruv Jurel (if bowling first) and Keshav Maharaj (if batting first) could be their Impact Sub options. Kolkata Knight Riders: Phil Salt too has flown back to England for the home series against Pakistan. Vaibhav Arora (if batting first) and Nitish Rana (if bowling first) could be the Impact Player for KKR.

What to expect: Another pitch enabling low scores? Quite contrary to the expectations and local trends the black-soil pitch in the last match here was low and skiddy with batters finding it difficult to get under the ball. The weather in Guwahati has been wet leading up to this match and although a fresh pitch is in the offing it could play very similar. The prediction on match day is for scattered thunderstorms but like with all forecasts it's subject to change.
